On the other side of Capital City on Genus, as far away from UAC HQ as possible, is a large circular building with a large dome. The plaque of an .S.P.A.C.E. Frigate above the door states that this is the meeting place for the UAC Admiralty, who consult before giving a report to the UACSC.
The building consists of a well-furnished lobby and two large meeting rooms. The first is a large, spacious area underneath the dome itself. A large, circular table is surrounded by chairs, with small cards indicating who sits where and what they do. The delegates are:
ADMIRAL HUDSON - .S.P.A.C.E.
REAR-ADMIRAL CORPORAL - .S.P.A.C.E.
ADMIRAL KING - KINEAR DEFENCE
ADMIRAL STARFIRE - ALDERBARAN AFFAIRS
VICE-ADMIRAL RAVEN - OCCULTAS GALAXY SPOKESWOMAN
REAR-ADMIRAL BOTTLE - .S.P.A.C.E.
A smaller conference room lies adjacent for all other high-ranking officials who play no part in the Admiralty. The room is long and narrow, and a rectangular table in the centre is also laden with chairs and cards. Thsi time, the delegates are:
CAPTAIN SQUIRREL - GENUS HOME GUARD
BRIGADIER PROUDFOOT-SMITH - MAMMAL ARTILLERY
2nd LT. WILSON - GENUS MILITARY RAILWAY
MAJOR-GENERAL FULHARD - .S.P.A.C.E. INTELLIGENCE
THE HONOURABLE COLONEL PRITCHARD - .S.P.A.C.E. EDUCATION CORPS
LT. MAXWELL - GENUS FIREFIGHTING CORPS
The only delegate in the building at present is Vice-Admiral Samantha Raven, a white-furred hare concealed inside a large blue cape. Looking around with darting blue eyes, she awaits the arrival of either the other delegates or members of the press.

Upon arrival, Rear-Admiral Corporal (Now dressed in his usual uniform again) moves up to Raven and greets her. "Greetings, Admiral. I am Rear-Admiral Corporal," he shakes her ice-cold hand, though she slightly frowns.
"Vice-Admiral Raven," she answers grimly, removing her hand. "I am awaiting the arrival of the media over speculation of the Warren attack, and what my people plan to do."

Two reporters and a photographer, all canines, enter, having paid off the security guards at the entrance to let them in. Immediately they start assaulting the two admirals with a variety of questions concerning Warren.

Raven, having been prepared, only stares at the report whilst Corporal is a little startled at the sudden entry.

"Vice-Admiral," one of the reporters says, shoving a microphone into Raven's face, "are the rumors about Warren true? Has it really been invaded by the toads again?"
"What does the Admiralty plan to do about the situation?" askes the second reporter while the phototrapher starts snapping pictures of Raven and Corporal.

"Warren is not under any real threat as of yet. Although the satellite defence system has been damaged, Warren currently has an auxiliary defence that shall last until a more advanced defence system can be put into place." She pauses for breath. "Rest assured that we in the Occultas Galaxy shall do all we can to fight the Toads right back to the Stone Age."

"Yes, but how did the satellite defenses become damaged?" one reporter demands to know. "Did the toads blow up the orbital space station?"
"And what about you, Rear-Admiral?" the second reporter says, addressing Corporal, poised to begin jotting any statements down onto his little notepad. "Do you have any comment on the situation on Warren?"
All the while, that loony photographer is snapping what must be hundreds of pictures of the Vice-Admiral and Rear-Admiral, from just about every conceivable angle.

Raven is the first to answer first. "We are uncertain at the moment, but we are sure that the Toads have manufactured new technology capable of such destruction. The Admiralty will meet later today to discuss what action shall be taken."
Corporal, bemused at the fact that he's just had a microphone shoved up his nose, speaks next. "The matter is a grave one, and one of our frigates, the Valiant, is currently investigating the aftermath. Once they return then you'll have all the information that you require."

Fang slowly approaches the building and watches the guards as he does.
"Hmmm, sercurity. I wonder are we ever truly secured?" He thinks as he glides along the ground noiselessly.
With surprising ease, Fang slips past the guards and through the doors. He finds himself in a room full of reporters, talking to a hairless baboon and a female hare. He silently slides up against a wall, blending into the shadows, and watches the interactions with a slight hint of humor.
"I wonder what the reporters would do if they knew about myself and what i am?" HE thinks as he watches them ask their questions.

The reporters look decidedly unsatisfied with these vague answers, but realize that no matter they won't get the Vice-Admiral and Rear-Admiral to crack, so after a handful more routine questions, they bid the officers good day and take their leave.
As they leave the room, the photographer stays and continues snapping pictures of practically the entire conference room, before one of the reporters trudges back in, apologizes to Raven and Corporal, then grabs his errant colleague by the coat collar and drags him out. And the photographer still manages to snap two more shots before he's yanked completely out the door.

Fang watches teh reporters from teh shadows as they leave. He chuckles as he turns to the Vice-Admiral and Rear-Admiral.
"That is why i never got into politics." He says as he stays in the shadows. "I came here to ask how Warren has been doing over the years, but it seems that the planet is in trouble. How bad is it. I wish to know the truth about my homeworld."
He steps forward and looks at the two Admirals.
"I was told i could find a human named Corporal here." Fang says looking at Corporal.

Corporal steps forward. "I am Rear-Admiral Corporal, how can I be of assistance?" Raven blocks him before he can step forward. "Also, how were you able to slip past security?" she frowns sternly.

"A fair question. It is not surprising that your secruity was unable to see me. Those of my kind are rare and usually shamed, because those like that blasted ferret vampire, Noseferretu either slander the name of our kind or kill us. THough his kind takes part in making us. My name is Fang, milady. I am cused to walk the Aniverse until either i am killed or the vampire who cursed me is killed." Fang said quietly with a slight tip of the head. "I notice you are different than other hares, so perhaps you know what it is like not to fit in. May i please know of the condition of my homeworld, now?"
Fang quietly waits watching the two of them through his visor.

"I'll fill in that one," Corporal steps forward. "Seeing as you're not in the press and as you are from Warren, then I see no harm in telling you." Raven yanks him back sharply by the arm.
"Are you mad?" she hisses. "For all we know, this person could be a spy!" Corporal releases his arm in anger. "As far as I'm concerned, any civilian has the right to know about their homes." He turns back to Fang while Raven just mumbles grumpily to herself.
"The Defence System has been destroyed, but the crew aboard the Main Space Station are all fit and well, and are en route back to Genus as we speak." He pasues for breath. "The Toads have fallen back to Toxus One without even invading the surface. We reckon that the Toads are using new weaponary as we've never seen so much damage from a single Slave Ship on this scale. I'm afraid that's all I know."

Fang quickly feels a surge of anger at teh mention of a Slave ship. The tips of his black gloves shred as claws rip through them and he clenches his hands into tight fists, drawing blood from his own body. IT drips to teh ground to form small puddles of crimson with a slight green tint to it.
"They....took.....more....slaves!" He hissed through clenched teeth.
His eyes begin flaming brightly under the visor and the black plate glowed an eerie green.
"More of mybrother and sister hares were taking as slaves! Wasn't the first time bad enough?!" He growls, fighting to get his anger under control. "Here i am hunting Noseferretu and this frelling planet adn my homeworld is a target for a new weapon!?"
His body shakes as the anger builds up in him. He fights to control it, but is is an obvious struggle.
